"I know the risks and dangers of this situation much better than you do. I'm strong, I'm fast, I'm an incredibly good shot with a weapon. I will be fine. I'll even check in with you later if you are so desperately worried about me." The last bit was a lie, but he didn't need to know that. "So now will you," she swallowed, "will you please leave me alone? I need to think?"
She'd never had to work this hard to get someone to leave her before. Most people didn't want to be there in the first place. Or, like Iggy, could have their functions turned off.
